About ASRP

When AEM Communities is configured to use ASRP as its common store, user generated content (UGC) is accessible from all author and publish instances without the need for synchronization nor replication.

Externalize Links

Be sure to set the domains to be URLs that are routable from the Data Center URL (ASRP endpoint).

Time Synchronization

In order for authentication with the ASRP endpoint to succeed, the machines running your hosted AEM Communities must be time synchronized, such as with the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Publishing the Configuration

ASRP must be identified as the common store on all author and publish instances.

To make the identical configuration available in the publish environment :

on author :

navigate from main menu to Tools > Operations > Replication

select Activate Tree

Start Path :

browse to /etc/socialconfig/srpc/

uncheck Only Modified

select Activate

Upgrading from AEM 6.0

Viktigt:

If you enable ASRP on a published community site, any UGC already stored in JCR will no longer be visible as there is no synchronization of data between on-premise storage and cloud storage.

AEM Communities Extension was previously introduced in AEM 6.0 social communities as a cloud service. As of AEM 6.1 Communities, no cloud configuration is necessary, simply select ASRP from the storage configuration console.

Due to the new storage structure, it is necessary to follow the upgrade instructions when upgrading from social communities to Communities.

New Content Does Not Appear in Searches

The Adobe cloud storage infrastructure uses eventual consistency to help achieve its scaling and performance goals. For this reason, new content is not instantly available and it may take several seconds for it to appear in search results.

While the interval affecting eventual consistency is monitored, please contact your account representative if it takes longer than a few seconds for new content to appear in searches.

UGC Not Visible in ASRP

Make sure ASRP has been configured to be the default provider by checking the configuration of the storage option. By default, the storage resource provider is JSRP, not ASRP.

On all author and publish AEM instances, revisit the Storage Configuration console or check the AEM repository :
